About
Occupying a peaceful position within a quiet cul-de-sac in the ever-popular coastal town of West Mersea, this detached two double bedroom detached bungalow presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to modernise and create their ideal home.
Conveniently located just a short stroll from the beach, seafront, and a range of local shops, cafés and everyday amenities, the property combines a desirable coastal lifestyle with excellent convenience.
The accommodation extends to approximately 1,059 sq. ft.
and comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to a spacious dual-aspect sitting/dining room, a fitted kitchen with access to a bright sunroom overlooking the garden, two well-proportioned double bedrooms, and a family bathroom.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a private rear garden, a detached double garage and off-street parking for two vehicles, providing ample space for storage, hobbies or additional parking.
Although the bungalow would benefit from a programme of modernisation, it offers excellent scope to update, reconfigure or extend (subject to the necessary planning permissions), making it an ideal purchase for down sizers, investors or those seeking to create a bespoke home in one of Essex's most desirable coastal locations.
